You just GOT TO, HAVE TO, check out this DUMPSTER sight!

[Huffa]

Somehow I stumbled upon it and it is hilarious what people find. So there are 1000's of people like me :crazy: out there! Makes me feel good! :lol:

..........but I'm just mainly into bikes and trikes.

Have fun and you may even find something you like!

I only have been on it for 5 minutes so didn't check it out real thourough yet.

ok dude spent about 20 min on that site the people were talking about eating food out of the trash. That was enough for me. In this life you have to have standards. These people have the internet so you make the call here. Have the internet or eat food out of a trash can. If this decision is hard for anyone please buy a gun and go hunt a wild animal. There is a reason that these things are in the trash thats because they are trash. That site wanted to make me puke. I'll never understand some people I guess.

[xd 200x]

and on another note If I ever saw anyone digging through my trash I would probobly make them a sandwich or somthing and telll them to get lost. This is for bums and such who dont have a choice. These people are ploting and skeeming about how and where to find the best food in the trash. For this I have no respect and or pitty. And keep in mind these people are paying for the internet and computers. and one of them is paying to host a message board about digging around in the trash lookin for food.

[xd 200x]

ok here is the kicker these people dig through trash and then sell it to each other. Im done I have blocked that site from my computer. My blood pressure is rising to fast.

[1984kxtTECATE]

Well from the sounds of it from your perspective XD, Huffa found the perfect sight for himself, lmao

[Huffa]

Well I only went on it for 10 minutes and didn't find anything like that.

All that I saw was some pretty good stuff, nothing that interested me so far, but I only looked 10 minutes.

Where are the trash -food eaters? That's pretty sad.

[bigredhead]

I saw a special on TV not long ago about the dumpster food thing... pretty disgusting but there are all sorts of people out there..

Some restaurants throw out food that's really not rotten and totally consumable, and the point of those who were being interviewed , tho i don't agree with their thoughts.. they claim that it's their way to save mother nature by recycling and what not.

Different strokes huh

So let me get this straight............. say you post on classifieds you need forks for a 200X.

I come back and say I have a sweet pair for $25 that I found being thrown out in a dumpster .

With your attitude you would not take them because they were to be thrown out?

I find nothing wrong what so ever with finding trash and reselling it. If it works and is functiona, the way the part was designed to be, I sure don't call it trash!

Reason alot of things are thrown out is because we live in a "Throw it away" society and no one knows how to fix the item. Those are the smart ones, that can take junk and recylcle it or fix it, putting it to good use again.

The other smart ones are the ones that buy Honda's and don't need to go dumpster diving :lol:

[edog]

I found a perfect 100,000 BTU Reedy Heater at the dump today.

[3 weelin geezer]

Ok, I have to admit that eating food out of a possibly roach infested dumpster is disgusting but sometimes people don't have a choice or can't figure out another way to satisfy their hunger. Take this poor guy that I saw in san diego rooting through the bin near a naval base. They say he used paint and was not all there. I don't think that guy will ever hold a job much less be in any position to buy food at vons to eat. Hell, I don't think he could even talk anymore. I would have offered him some clean food if I had some at the time. Now as for the trike stuff and such, I guess I can be called guilty of taking stuff myself. One time I found a perfectly good cassette player at a car wash. Another time, I found someones wallet with money. Or a fishing rod. I think I still have that somewhere. How about the time when some kids hid some bb guns in one? ( I think I just dreamed that one.) If its good enough for this guy its good enough for me.....to an extent.
:w00t:

[85hondaatc125m]

The dump is a good um...store too, Ive got a couple bikes from there that could either be parts bikes or bikes I could get working! Dont come and check my garbage though, all you will find is dog crap and cat crap, and that wouldnt be much of a collection lol.

[xd 200x]

My point is that these people are eating food found in dumpsters. And plotting their spare time to locate more dumpsters. Now can you honestly tell me that these people are sane? So let’s look at the tough process here.

“Hey I have nothing better to do with my life then go and dig through trash"
“Ok so I shelled out the money for the internet and cable this month gosh I wish I would have left some money for some roman"
"Gosh maybe I should go did around in the trash and find some food I wont waist my time going to the soup kitchen I'll just rummage through the dumpster"

The best part of that site is when they get mad because people put garbage in the dumpster and they have to dig through it to get to the stuff that they want. Come on man. Do you honestly see this as a source of pride for these people? I mean not only do they do through the trash but then they post about it on the internet as though they should be praised.
It is illegal to go digging through dumpsters on private property you know.
Have these people no shame. I've got an Idea how about they save up all the energy that they use to go digging through dumpsters and get job. But oh no then they wouldn’t get their welfare checks. So I guess that is out of the question.

[xd 200x]

Please lock this thread before I say somthing that I will regret

[nouseforaname90]

Why would they lock it? Its a perfectly fine thread. Just don't reply or read this thread if you don't approve of what they are doing. I personally don't think that it is anything bad. They go look through some dumpsters and make a little extra money. One person on there said he was making an extra $1000 a month selling stuff he finds in dumpsters. Sounds like a perfectly fine idea to me.

And they aren't poor people, as you portrayed them in your post. They are average-income human beings that do this to make a little extra money. To each his own, nothing wrong with that. Just because you have a difference of opinion does not mean they should not do it. Its their choice, not yours.

[xd 200x]

But with all the effort that they put into this could they not just get part time jobs. How much is dignity worth?

[edog]

Please lock this thread before I say somthing that I will regret

[nouseforaname90]

But with all the effort that they put into this could they not just get part time jobs. How much is dignity worth?


Would you rather go out and rummage through a dumpster for 2 hours and make $500 bucks from it and get some goodies for yourself, or get a part-time job and get a mere $5 dollars an hour?
People have different opinions. Just because you think theirs is wrong and yours is right is no reason to dis them. Its called freedom..

[xd 200x]

It's not about money it is about dignity. Would you tell your daughter or you wife It's ok to become a hooker or striper becuase of the money they could make?
" why get a job honey you could make $30 a blowjob on the corner and just think of all the quality time we could spend toghter."
" and hey with the profits you could get me some trike parts"
" And if you happen to give one behind a dumpster tonight could you just look around I need a new tooth brush"

get my point ?

[nouseforaname90]

Dumpster diving is not performing sexual acts. It is just looking through other peoples junk because you may find something that you think is treasure. One mans junk is another mans treasure. Its their choice, just let it be..

[Billy Golightly]

While I dont exactly condone going and pulling stuff out of a dumpster for living, I'm guilty of pulling some ATC110 parts out of the scrap metal pile at our local dumpster site a couple months ago. I also wouldn't mind dumpster diving behind a couple Honda warehouses where they throw away perfectly good parts just to make room for more stock that sells quicker. That kind of stuff is cool, but food....no.

[Tri-ZNate]

Dumpster Diving is like going to yard sales. You may find expensive stuff cheap (or free) and then choose to sell it. My Step dad has found several old expensive fishing reels at yardsales for $5 and turned around and sold them on ebay for over $100 each. If you want to dumpster dive go for it, someone else may need that part if you dont want it, and there is nothing wrong with making a little cash while doing it.

And if the wife is makin $30 a BJ she should be able to afford a toothbrush, well unless she is ugly and has herpies :rolleyes:

And huffa if you want to dig through the trash with your new forum friends it's cool just please dont eat food you find in dumpsters or meet any of these people in person. And please dont start smokeing old stogies that you find on the street.

Kirsten Stade, second from left, eats a banana taken out of the garbage bags in front of her as Madeline Nelson, left, Kabi Jorgensen, second from right, and Janet Kalish look for other salvageable items in front of a New York super market in August.


That's not trash, it's dinner, "freegans" say



Kirsten Stade, second from left, eats a banana taken out of the garbage bags in front of her as Madeline Nelson, left, Kabi Jorgensen, second from right, and Janet Kalish look for other salvageable items in front of a New York super market in August.

NEW YORK — Dinner shared by a group of friends at a well-appointed Greenwich Village apartment featured eggplant Parmesan with a salad of mixed greens and avocado dressing. The guests already had snacked on hors d'oeuvres of smoked mozzarella and crackers.

Not bad considering the diners find their food by digging through garbage. They call themselves "freegans," a play on the words "free" and "vegan" — vegetarians who avoid all animal products, including dairy. In an ideological rejection of consumer waste, they only eat food that's been discarded. And in New York, at least, they never go hungry.

"We find more food than we could ever possibly eat," said Adam Weissman. Only 24 hours before the dinner party, he found a hefty stash outside a gourmet supermarket in Manhattan: bags of salad nearing the sell-by date, dozens of sandwiches, boxes of Ritz crackers, some nice-looking squash and loaves of still-crisp baguettes.

Although not all freegans are vegan, they all eat for free. With few exceptions, Weissman said, he has not eaten purchased food, either at home, in a restaurant or as guest of a friend, in more than 10 years.

Weissman and others say they have mixed feelings about Thanksgiving, which Weissman called "basically a celebration of excess."

A study suggests that freegans may have a point.

Timothy Jones, an anthropology professor at the University of Arizona, conducted a 10-year study that concluded the country wastes 40 percent to 50 percent of its food. A 1997 Department of Agriculture study put the loss at 27 percent of total *.S. food production, or 96 billion pounds of food.

"The number one problem is that Americans have lost touch with what food is for," Jones said. "We have lost touch with the processes that bring it to the table, and we don't notice the inefficiency."

While images of sorting rubbish for food may churn a few stomachs, some doctors condone the practice. Dr. Michael Greger, director of public health and animal agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States, says unopened packaged foods normally can be eaten safely for days after sell-by dates have passed. But he warns freegans to stay away from meat and seafood, eggs, dairy, sprouts, cut melon and unpasteurized cider or juice, which can be susceptible to bacteria. Mold can be trimmed from "hard or firm foods," he says, but even the brave should stay away from bulging or oozing cans.

Hahahahaha! Yeah, sounds like pretty solid advice there, doc! :D

[edog]

Are you a "Vegan" or a "Freegans"?

[bigredhead]

this is hilarious.

In my opinion.. there is a big difference between food and items in garbage.

DD is no different than the yearly " Spring Cleaning " .. people drive by for days on end hunting for perfectly good stuff that's being thrown out.

I have picked up my fair share of items this way.

I would NEVER jump into a sinky dumpster to rummage thru stuff. but i would however take a peek and if something perfectly usable wich i have to buy but can have for free is just sitting there going to the dump...... i'd call it mine in a hurry.

XD.. you are compareing apples to oranges.. get a grip.

Hey,how do you know how much a blowjob goes for?:w00t: :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce :eek:


Just where do you find a $30 blowjob?? 'round here they want like $200 for the first 5 minutes $50 for every one there after.:lol:

the only problem I would be careful of is the bunch of discarded syringes in most of those dumpsters.

[Oldshell4481]

ive found some killer furniture at the stump dump, i take alot of 2x4's and plywood, found some working TVs, VCR's and shiit, i aint eatin the food though, id rather pay for that at the local China Coast where atleast the DD food is heated and looks and smells good.

I passed a # of dumpsters today in the oil truck I drive and started :lol: my arse off!

Ya. I agree. What does MJ have to do with dumpsters? Um, he looks like a rich bum to me. I have heard that he is here but he hides out. I would too. Its not...polite.. to talk about celebrities and the King here. One is not allowed to be taking pictures near his palace either. You can take one of it from far away though. Just not of him. I wish America was like that sometimes. Not so much about well known people on tv all the time. Thats why I do not wish to become famous or I will live in every one's house and they (the photographers ) will live in mine and I am not allowed to shoot them. Yeah, with a gun not a camera.

Hello,

I'm the person that is paying to host a message board about digging in the trash, though *I* do not look for food. Dumpster Diving for me is a hobby, I go looking for mostly computer parts, of old obsolete computers to toy around with. Others dive for food, who am I or you to judge them?

I have plenty of other things to do with my life (like riding my 2004 YFZ450 :beer: I know I know should of held out for the honda I'm kicking myself now), as do my members. Many members of the site that dive for food, do it by choice not by necessity. Your comment about welfare checks is sort of disturbing, I work 50 hours a week, as a carpenter. You need to take a step back and take a look at your own "thought process", you really don't know what your talking about.

I already typed all my replies to the lunatic and I may as well post them. Why did I go through all this trouble you ask? Well I'm bored out of my mind, I wrecked my buddies dirtbike on friday, and tore some muscles in my shoulder so I'm kind of cutch ridden. Good thing my scummy welfare collecting wife is going to the dumpster tonight to bring me home some food or we'd starve to death!

Dumpster diving isn't all that bad. There are even more 'sick' kinds of people out there. For example, how many of yous would go around stealing TOILETS from gas stations, restaurants, landfills, etc? I mean used toilets. That is pretty bad. Motel towels are one thing but the commode??? :confused: :wondering What were they thinking? That is something that is sure to be missed.:lol:
